Ristolainen missed the first two games of the season with an upper-body injury but will play Wednesday vs. the Bruins. Look for Ristolainen to skate on the second pairing with Travis Sanheim in his debut.

Ristolaien was on the ice for Sunday's practice but will remain out of the lineup on Monday. Nick Seeler will play in Ristolainen's spot again. Consider Ristolainen day-to-day and expect him to make his debut later this week.

Aston-Reese missed the first two games of the regular season but it appears as if he will make his season debut on Saturday. Aston-Reese, who will skate on the third line, had nine goals and six assists (15 points) in 45 games last season.

Ristolainen was acquired from the Sabres this offseason but his Flyers debut will have to wait, as he's sidelined by an upper-body injury. With Ristolainen sidelined, Nick Seeler will skate on the third pairing next to Keith Yandle.

Aston-Reese missed some of the preseason after a positive COVID-19 test in late September and will not be available for the season opener on Tuesday. However, Aston-Reese did travel to Florida and will be re-evaluated ahead of Thursday's game vs. the Panthers.

Acciari was hurt in a scrum during Tuesday's preseason game. He was talked to the ice by Pat Maroon and appeared to hurt his left arm in some capacity. Surgery is not required but head coach Joel Quenneville said he has a long rehab ahead of him. This under opens the door for someone like Anton Lundell to start the season in the NHL.
